Last updated: January 2026

Important Notice

Please read this disclaimer carefully before using Hindsight. By using our service, you acknowledge and accept the limitations and responsibilities described herein.

General Disclaimer

Hindsight is a technology tool designed to assist medical professionals with portfolio documentation. The Service is provided for informational and productivity purposes only and does not constitute professional, medical, legal, or regulatory advice.

AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

Hindsight uses artificial intelligence to assist with generating portfolio content, including reflections, CPD entries, and significant event analyses. It is essential to understand:

AI Limitations

  • Not a Substitute for Professional Judgement: AI-generated content should never replace your own professional reflection and judgement.
  • Potential for Inaccuracy: AI systems can produce content that is inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate for your specific situation.
  • Context Limitations: The AI does not have full knowledge of your circumstances, patients, or workplace environment.
  • No Clinical Advice: AI-generated content does not constitute clinical guidance or medical advice.

Your Responsibilities

  • Review All Content: You must carefully review, edit, and verify all AI-generated content before use.
  • Ensure Authenticity: Your portfolio must genuinely reflect your own learning, reflections, and professional development.
  • Maintain Accuracy: You are responsible for ensuring all information in your portfolio is accurate and truthful.
  • Meet Regulatory Requirements: You must ensure your portfolio meets all GMC and regulatory requirements.

Regulatory and Professional Compliance

While Hindsight is designed to align with GMC Good Medical Practice domains and UK appraisal requirements, we make no guarantees that:

  • Content generated will meet specific appraisal or revalidation requirements
  • Our interpretation of GMC guidance is authoritative or complete
  • Using our Service will ensure successful appraisal or revalidation
  • Our Service reflects the most current regulatory requirements

Always verify requirements with your Responsible Officer, appraiser, or the GMC directly.

No Professional Relationship

Use of Hindsight does not create any professional relationship between you and Hindsight. We are not your employer, medical defence organisation, appraiser, or professional advisor.

Service Availability

We strive to maintain continuous service availability but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. We recommend:

  • Regularly exporting your portfolio data
  • Not relying solely on Hindsight for portfolio storage
  • Maintaining backup copies of important documents
  • Allowing sufficient time before appraisal deadlines

Third-Party Links and Services

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Confidentiality and Data Protection

While we implement robust security measures to protect your data, you should be mindful of the sensitive nature of medical portfolio content. You are responsible for:

  • Ensuring patient confidentiality is maintained in all entries
  • Anonymising any patient information before entry
  • Complying with your organisation's data protection policies
  • Maintaining appropriate access controls to your account

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Hindsight shall not be liable for any damages, including but not limited to:

  • Unsuccessful appraisal or revalidation outcomes
  • Professional consequences arising from portfolio content
  • Loss of data or business interruption
  • Any reliance placed on AI-generated content
